Protecting the Femoral Nerve During LLIF
International Society of Spine Surgery
The transpsoas lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) technique is an effective alternative to traditional anterior and posterior approaches to the lumbar spine. The advantages of the far lateral lumbar approach are well documented, however iatrogenic injuries to the lumbar plexus are the most commonly reported post-operative complications.

The transpsoas lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) technique is an effective alternative to traditional anterior and posterior approaches to the lumbar spine. The advantages of the far lateral lumbar approach are well documented, however iatrogenic injuries to the lumbar plexus are the most commonly reported post-operative complications. The most feared of these complications is a high-grade femoral nerve injury which can be debilitating. Suspected mechanisms of femoral nerve injury include, compression, stretch, and disrupted vascular perfusion, all of which are suspected to be related to excessive or prolonged surgical retraction. New methods of monitoring femoral nerve function have been evolving and gaining greater acceptance as multiple independent groups have reported similar promising findings. We present our results from a multi-center study conducted over the course of 3 years using a multimodality femoral nerve monitoring protocol that includes saphenous nerve somatosensory evoked potentials (SnSSEP), motor evoked potentials with quadriceps muscles recordings (MEPq) and free-running EMG (EMG) to assess femoral nerve function during surgical retraction.

C5 neuropraxia is a known, poorly understood complication of cervical spine surgery and has a reported incidence as high as 30% in some studies. Weakness of the deltoid and biceps muscles present immediately postoperatively or in a delayed fashion. The exact etiology remain elusive and controversy regarding the efficacy and utility of neuromonitoring for intraoperative detection of these injuries exist.

Weakness of the deltoid and biceps muscles present immediately postoperatively or in a delayed fashion. The exact etiology remain elusive and controversy regarding the efficacy and utility of neuromonitoring for intraoperative detection of these injuries exist. We describe a novel approach to monitoring for C5 nerve root palsies by evaluating motor evoked potential recordings (MEP) and spontaneous electromyographic recordings (s-EMG) from the three heads of the deltoid muscles along with standard MEP/EMG target muscle recordings contemporaneously.

Causal Factors for Position Related SSEP Changes in Spinal Surgery
European Spine Journal/Springer Link
BACKGROUND CONTEXT:
Somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) are effective in detecting upper extremity positional injuries; however, causal factors for which patient population is most at risk are not well established.
PATIENT SAMPLE:
398 patient charts and intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring data from patients who underwent thoracolumbar and lumbosacral spine surgery were reviewed in a consecutive sequence from 2012 to 2013.
OUTCOME MEASURES:

Somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) are effective in detecting upper extremity positional injuries; however, causal factors for which patient population is most at risk are not well established.
PATIENT SAMPLE:
398 patient charts and intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring data from patients who underwent thoracolumbar and lumbosacral spine surgery were reviewed in a consecutive sequence from 2012 to 2013.
OUTCOME MEASURES:
Adverse events (AE) with the upper extremity SSEP recordings were compared to the independent variables, sex, positioning, length of procedure, and body habitus.
METHODS:
Thoracolumbar and lumbosacral spine surgeries using contemporaneous ulnar and median nerve SSEPs were reviewed. The one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test, Chi-square, and independent samples t test were used to determine statistical significance in having an upper extremity SSEP AE to the aforementioned independent variables.
RESULTS:
The sample consisted of 209 males (52.5 %) and 189 females (47.5 %) (n = 398). AE to the upper extremity SSEP was seen in 44 patients. Sex was found to be statistically significant for isolated ulnar nerve AE (P ≤ 0.001) with males being most at risk (87.5 %). AE for isolated median nerve SSEP was statistically significant for supine and prone positions (P = 0.043). Length of procedure was statically significant for isolated ulnar nerve SSEP AE (P = 0.039). BMI was statistically significant for generalized upper extremity SSEP AE (P = 0.016), as well as isolated ulnar SSEP AE (P = 0.006), isolated median SSEP AE (P ≤ 0.001) and contemporaneous median and ulnar SSEP AE of the same limb (P ≤ 0.001).
CONCLUSION:
Sex, patient positioning, length of procedure, and BMI are determinants for upper extremity neural compromise during thoracolumbar and lumbosacral spine surgeries.Other authorsSee publication -
Contemporaneous Evaluation of Intraoperative Ulnar and Median Nerve Somatosensory Evoked Potentials for Patient Positioning: A Review of Four Cases
The Neurodiagnostic Journal/Taylor and Francis Publishing
Somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) are a valuable tool for assessing changes in peripheral nerve pathways caused by patient positioning during spinal surgeries. These changes, when left undiagnosed, may lead to postoperative neurological sequelae. Why an upper extremity SSEP attenuates due to positioning is not necessarily clear and can be multifactorial, affecting the peripheral nerves or elements of the brachial plexus. A conduction block can occur at any point along the course of the…
Somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) are a valuable tool for assessing changes in peripheral nerve pathways caused by patient positioning during spinal surgeries. These changes, when left undiagnosed, may lead to postoperative neurological sequelae. Why an upper extremity SSEP attenuates due to positioning is not necessarily clear and can be multifactorial, affecting the peripheral nerves or elements of the brachial plexus. A conduction block can occur at any point along the course of the nerve secondary to entrapment, compression, and ischemia. These mechanisms of injury may be caused by extreme body habitus, the length of the procedure, or the patient’s metabolic underpinnings. The goal of neuromonitoring for positional injury is to predict and prevent both peripheral nerve and brachial plexus injuries. Using ulnar and median nerve SSEPs contemporaneously may lead to better identification of compromised structures when an SSEP change to one or both of the nerves occurs. The investigators provide four case reports where intraoperative SSEP assessment of contemporaneous ulnar and median nerves prevented postoperative upper extremity neural deficits.

Variable Results in Motor Mapping of the Lumbar Plexus: A Comparison of 3 Different L2-L3 Far Lateral Lumbar Discectomy & Fusion Procedures
The Monitor/American Society of Neurophysiological Monitoring (ASNM)
There has been a major trend in surgery towards less invasive procedures performed through smaller surgical apertures. Smaller surgical openings are associated with decreased visualization, and surgeons must rely more on intraoperative tools including fluoroscopic imaging and motor nerve mapping techniques to assess their relative anatomical position and proximity to neural structures respectively.

There has been a major trend in surgery towards less invasive procedures performed through smaller surgical apertures. Smaller surgical openings are associated with decreased visualization, and surgeons must rely more on intraoperative tools including fluoroscopic imaging and motor nerve mapping techniques to assess their relative anatomical position and proximity to neural structures respectively. In retroperitoneal lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) procedures, the surgeon must establish a safe surgical corridor to access the disc space by traversing through the substance of the psoas muscle while avoiding damage to the lumbar plexus. Surgeons utilize Triggered EMG (T-EMG) using a monopolar electrical probe to detect the presence and proximity of lumbar plexus elements in the surgical field. A detailed understanding of the functional anatomy of the lumbar plexus and an appreciation of anatomical variants is essential to understanding how to effectively map the lumbar plexus.
